South Boston Dry Dock 4
Bring a little South Boston home.
Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches
When the kettle boils, these coasters give the cups a place on the table. Workers and keel blocks appear in South Boston's completed Dry Dock 4, with the temporarily dry basin giving maintenance infrastructure a clear form.
The source records Completed dry dock in June 1943, with workers and keel blocks visible. Strong engineering view of a basin temporarily separated from harbor water. The naval waterfront brought construction, maintenance and transport together beside the harbor. This particular view records the practical shore facilities that supported that work at the time of the source.
The basin connects harbor water with a space separated from it for ship work, keeping South Boston's engineering facilities visible through a particular completed dock. Keep the set beside the cups for tea or a visit with friends.
